We had the delicious Bao Buns followed by the eye fillet and scotch fillet. Tasty and cooked to perfection. Good selection of wine and great service too. The steaks were better than we’ve had in some “steak” houses. Well worth the short Uber ride from the town centre.

This is a hidden gem. We had one of the best meals so far in during trip to NZ and great value as well. We shared the arancini balls (3) and I had the fish of the day (snapper) my husband had the chateau briand fillet steak. We have travelled a lot and eaten in many different places but this is was up there. Well done to the kitchen and great service from the staff. Including a bottle of red wine the bill came to $136 NZ Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $60–70 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Brie Stuffed Mushroom Arancini Balls

Fantastic place! We were so tired after completing the Tongariro alpine crossing that wanted to have a nice reward. And the place didn’t let us down. The kids meal was served first with the complementary ice cream. The burger and lamb were delicious. Great selection of beer.

A patrons dog bit my mate on the foot. There was a suboptimal response by the owners and the favoured dog owners. I recommended the restaurant so I’m very sad they did not respond appropriately. This dog had apparently been there for 14 years in the bar as if that excused the behaviour. They need to check their response Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $1–10

Delicious food - this place deserves its high ratings. Don’t worry that it’s not in the centre of town, it’s busy and lively. Make sure to make a booking on busy nights… like every Friday. The service was very good. My risotto was nice - my wife’s eye fillet one of the nicest either of us have tasted for years. The accompanying vegetables also were delicious.

After today's stay at Lake Taupo and the beautiful sunset, we decided to go for a meal in a restaurant. Given the late hour, only very few restaurants had longer opening hours (until 00h). We were delighted to find "Mole and Chicken", a restaurant that not only has longer opening hours but also served delicious food. The food was really delicious. The service was also very friendly and attentive. We can only recommend the restaurant. Thanks to "Mole and Chicken"!!! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

A nice atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Mainly a pub with happy locals ready for a chat. Super staff and doggy friendly. Good food, and nibbles, plus variety of drinks. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $20–30 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This is a great, authentic New Zealand pub with friendly service, a great choice of beer (and other drinks) and pub grub that is WAY above average in terms of quality and presentation. A bit out of the town centre where most of the eateries are but well worth the detour.

Sensational, came recommended and didn’t disappoint. Superb service and awesome with the kids, we came in 10mins early and nothing was a problem, Eye Fillet was perfect, double beef burger wicked and the kids meals came with fresh baby carrots, cauliflower and green beans. A very sharp chef and one I’d hire in a heartbeat. See you tomorrow haha Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Angus Double Beef Burger
